the locks on this tank are to keep the littlest of the daycare kids out but a key will be near it at all times in case of an emergency.

but being a locksmith does have its perks.. wife cant lock me out.. and interesting jobs for our cities finest... the stories i can tell.

sooooooooooo a little bit of a lighting issue..the company i was ordering from and have ordered from before keeps deleting my order. so im looking into other options possibly. which will not have moonlights which is ok i have a remedy fro that. just waiting onthe dimentions.. do you think 150W MHL with 2 x 2bulbs 2Ft Fixture be enough lighting? i dont know if ill have much for sps in it. but id hate to underlight it.

i think i found a replacement but its going to be tight the tank foot print is 35" x18" and the light will be 30" x 15" so i have a teeeny bit of room to spare

ill have to order it tomorrow it is a 250wmh with atinic pc bulbs it should be good enough to grow anythng. hopefully

Nice work with the stand...white is SO the new black it's crazy! Will the overflow side be turned towards the wall?
